Document Description
The project proposes the implementation of the South Lake Park Master Plan (project). The project proposes development of a recreational park around South Lake. South Lake is fed solely by storm water runoff and is owned and maintained by Vallecitos Water District (VWD). The estimated 53-acres park would be comprised of three parcels: two parcels (36.92-acres and 7.61-acre) owned by VWD, and an 8.77-acre parcel recently acquired by the City. The City has entered into a 50-year lease agreement with VWD for the two non-City-owned parcels.
The project proposes a boat dock with non-motorized boat rentals, picnic areas, natural viewing areas, an outdoor amphitheater, pedestrian trails, a dog run, and three self-contained restrooms. Non-motorized boat rentals (e.g. kayaks and row-boats) would be permitted on the lake, and the lake would also be used for recreational fishing. Fishing stocking to maintain the recreation fishing will occur, as needed. The project also includes a structure that will have a caretaker apartment over full-service public restrooms. The project includes 107 parking spaces. The project would also replace the at-grade dam spillway with an underground box culvert.
